I found no evidence of bad solder joints. I then reassembled the monitor and put it back in service. It started right up in a normal fashion, but the next day when I started it up the screen went black just like before. The only pattern I can find is when starting cold, the Microsoft screen comes on then the user screen then when the desktop starts and the hourglass is going the screen goes black. Sometimes if I lightly tap the back cover it will come back on. When it comes back on sometimes it makes a loud chirp, and sometimes it doesn’t. Once it running, it is good for the rest of the day. It sounds like a loose connection that tightens up when warm, but I have no idea where. Thank you for your help. This is the best hardware support I have ever experienced.

]]> Comment on Recall on HP 1040 and 1050 fax machines by Halo http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/recall-on-hp-1040-and-1050-fax-machines/comment-page-1/#comment-1247 Halo Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:57:42 +0000 http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/?p=1916#comment-1247 Okay, whats the rush I have had this fax and have used it regularly for the past 4 years. Nice to finally know it could have caused a fire and who knows what else. Instead of giving you a rebate why don't they just let you pick what you want and not limit you to their choice. I noticed there are some new printer products out that are not on the choices to pick. I think they should not worry about having people send their rollers back and just give them a refund based on the fact they know the consumers bought their faulty products. Somehow I don't know how much I believe of their story that it was a voluntary recall. Nobody does anything anymore unless they are forced to. Something to thing about consumers. Buyer Beware!

Remove the board and resolder the connections to the transformers that are near the back light plugs, Also resolder the plugs themselves to make sure they don't have bad solder joints. These power supplies have a over current protection circuit and if you have weak solder joints that can cause excess current draw which would shut the board down, unplugging the unit will allow the caps to discharge and the circuit to reset. Check this and get back to us with the results. Hello,

Now however, after 5 months of flawless service, the screen goes black and makes a popping or clicking noise and sometimes comes back on and sometimes it doesn’t. I opened it up and checked for obvious evidence of arcing or shorting but found nothing. The capacitors all look good. No bulges. When I put it back in service it worked for 2 or 3 weeks and went out again. Now I can only get it to work for a day at a time, each time I remove it from my system and use a spare monitor for a while and then reattach the 2493HM it comes back to life for a while. Is this an indication of another problem with the power supply? Do the symptoms indicate another known problem?

Where you get into problems is when you have one board with sound and one without but neither of these have sound. Both boards should be compatible.
